Christofoor - The song of the tree

In the middle of the jungle grows a towering tree. Every summer, the tree catches a flock of birds, who spend the dry season singing in its branches. For a young bird, the tree is the finest place on earth; every branch is as familiar as her own feathers. But when the other birds move on, the young bird is not yet ready to leave the tree. She stays behind but is not alone; the tree is full of other animals. By listening to them, the bird learns a new song. Enjoy with wide-open eyes the unique, graphic illustrations by Coralie Bickfort-Smith. The colours and shapes jump off every page. The text is dreamy, full of feeling, and reads almost like a poem. Thanks to Jan Rot's beautiful translation, Het lied van de boom sounds almost even more beautiful in our language.
